Lake Lenore so much to answer for

Lake Lenore had some excess sodium dumped in it in 1947

and then someone is stealing fish most recently. 

I like this place I wish people would leave only footprints.... 

Liberty , Wa

On the way back from our last visit to the Scablands we stopped at the little town of Liberty. Here we chatted with a local who told us of how close last years wildfire got, very close, he was supposed to evacuate but wouldn't have no matter what.

We met a box of rescued cats who were only a few weeks old and should have had their mother.  One was dead in the box with front paws in clawing formation and mouth open in a scream expression. It was surreal by this point. People still looking for gold in these hills.

Back to it...Wild Bee recording in Mt Rainer

Well the show must go on so the Bees must be recorded. 

In Seattle the Bees seem downright shy over photography and sound recordings. 

Out on the Mountain I didn't even seem to be noticed. 

Maybe it's just that Mountain Bee vibe - less worry then your urban friends. 

Night and Day

As the weather turns I have a stockpile of images to deal with images of sunnier times and forested spaces, and some decaying stuff in there too.
